  1. PersistencetoGraduationtool A tool designed to identify students who may be off-track for graduating.

  2. I will know… • WHY there is a PtGT • WHAT PtGT is used for • WHERE PtGT is found • WHO can use PtGT • WHAT PtGT report looks like • ACTION STEPS statedistrictschool • WHO to contact LEARNING TARGETS

  3. vision The Kentucky Department of Education’s mission is to prepare all Kentucky students for next-generation learning, work, and citizenship by engaging schools, districts, families, and communities through excellent leadership, service, and support.

  4. WHY • The Kentucky Board of Education envisions that all students will GRADUATE ready for college and careers. • Their vision is driven by data that says 80% of jobs now require training beyond high school and 67% of those jobs require a post-secondary degree. • YET…in 2010 only 76% of our students graduated and only 34% were college and career ready.

  5. Highlights of Senate Bill 1 LEGISLATION • Senate Bill 1 (2009) • Charges the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) and the Council on Post-Secondary Education (CPE) with developing a UNIFIED PLAN to reduce the number of students in need of remediation after high school by 50% and increase college completion rates by 3% by 2014.

  6. Related legislation • House Bill 176 (2008) requires KDE to identify the persistently low-performing schools and provide intensive support to promote student learning in those schools. • Senate Bill 2 (2008) supported a statewide focus on the advancement of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, which allowed KDE to focus on alignment of middle and high school experiences for students. • Senate Bill 168 (2009) supported intervention strategies for accelerated learners; individualized learning opportunities for secondary students; and intensive intervention systems for learners who struggle to meet standards measured by the Educational Planning and Assessment System (EPAS).

  7. Revision of content standards that will focus on • critical knowledge, skills, and capacities • fewer, more in-depth standards to facilitate mastery learning • evidence-based research • standard alignment from elementary to high school to post-secondary education • Establishment of a statewide school and district accountability model to include new measures for • GRADUATION • COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS CPE and KDE College and Career Readiness Unified Plan • FOCUS OF THE UNIFIED PLAN

  8. Unbridled Learning College and Career Readiness For All PLAN

  9. Commonwealth Commitment

  10. 2015 To increase the percentage of students who will GRADUATE College and Career Ready (CCR) • Target Goal #1

  11. 2015 To increase the Averaged Freshman Graduation Rate (AFGR) • Target Goal #2

  12. Achievement DISTINGUISHED 90th %-ile & higher PROFICIENT 70th - 89th %-ile NEEDS IMPROVEMENT Below 70th %-ile CATEGORY Gap Overall Score Percentile Rank Growth • College/Career Readiness ACCOUNTABILITY RANK • Graduation Rate

  14. HOW ARE WE DOING?

  15. Persistence to Graduation • Course and Assessment Alignment • Accountability Model • Targeted Interventions • Career Readiness Pathways • Acceleration • College and Career Advising • Priority Schools STRATEGIES

  16. P t G T Persistence to Graduation tool

  17. WHAT • PtGT … • …is an early warning indicator system for identifying studentswho may be off-track to graduate • …will provide critical student-level data to identify specific students in need of additional intervention and/or support

  18. PtGTcan be used by… • Directors of Pupil Personnel (DPP) • District dropout prevention personnel (where applicable) • Building principals and counselors • Special education administrators • WHO* • *Determined by IC access rights

  19. PtGT • is embedded in WHERE Launch date: July 22, 2011 (release E.1126.3)

  20. System Administrator KY State Reporting KDE Reports Persistence to Graduation REPORT

  21. *credits attempted versus credits earned In the report, each student will have a risk value. The higher the risk value, the greater the risk of the student becoming a dropout. DATA* • All students are included in the tool

  22. PtGT Data

  23. PtGT will… • provide a complete list of all students based on the calculation of risk factor points. • show students at higher risk in descending risk point totals. • allow Districts to filter the report in excel format to get customized results.

  24. PtGT • Should be generated at the district level • Create a baseline report for rising ninth grade class at beginning of school year • Follow-up reports can be run at any time during the year for any grade level cohort • ACTION STEP • district level

  25. PtGT • Data analysis and root cause analysis • Determine necessary and appropriate supports and interventions for students who may be off-track for graduation • Provide targeted interventions to at-risk students • Utilize available resources at community, district, state, and national levels PtGT Toolkit • ACTION STEP • school level

  26. Training • On data analysis/root cause analysis • On the joining of evidence-based strategies and/or interventions with the identified risk factors PtGT Toolkit • ACTION STEP • state level

  27. Ongoing Development • The Office of Next-Generation Learners (ONGL) • Update state level data • Develop survey for users • ACTION STEP • state level

  28. Feedback • Until development of survey is complete, KDE and ONGL would to hear from you! • Can your district personnel offer any other feedback to KDE/ONGL related to PtGT ? • ACTION STEP • district level

  29. Exit slip! • Does your district utilize the PtGT? • Does your district use the data on the PtGTto analyze root causefor individual students and/or student cohorts? • Who is the primary user (s) of the PtGTin your district? • What is the primary reason you use the PtGTin your district? • How does PtGTimpact your College and/or Career Ready (CCR) graduation rate? • How does PtGT impact your Averaged Freshman Graduation Rate (AFGR)? • Does your district personnel need more training to be able to fully utilize PtGT ? • How can KDE help in making the PtGTa more effective tool for your district? • ACTION STEP • NOW!
